Red Bull drivers Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber have expressed concern over their car's slow pace at Friday's practice sessions. Webber was ninth fastest in the opening free practice session, but it was the team's only top-10 finish of the day. The Australian came in 11th in the afternoon, while German Vettel was a lowly 13th, and would need full support from Red Bull, if they were eyeing to win Sunday's Italian Grand Prix. The team suffered similar problems in last weekend's Belgian Grand Prix and is working hard to overcome the difficulties in order to be competitive on Sunday. "We are working hard, but we are not quite there yet. We were a little bit more competitive on the long run when we have got a bit of fuel in, but we have got a bit of work to do with the fuel out," News.com.au quoted Webber, as saying. "We are not normally Friday world champions, but we have a bit of work to do tomorrow to make sure we can make it all up," he added. Meanwhile, Vettel said: "I think overall we are not as quick as we would like to be, so there is still some work to do I would guess." "I don't know what Mark did, or what the others did, but I think we are probably more competitive in race trim. But for sure today wasn't as good as we wanted our true pace to be, so you can see there is a lot to do," he added. "So far, we ran through our programme and we didn't have any problems. There is a lot to go through and learn from so we have to seen," Vettel said.
